Arguably the most attractive Android smartphone is back, now that HTC has confirmed its new One M9. Sticking to its guns, the phone is based on continuing the design principles of its past two predecessors, making it more than a little recognizable. The familiarity may extend to the device’s functionality, as HTC seems to have focused on shoring up what were considered weaknesses.

But attending someone’s special day can be expensive, what with travel, vacations from work, and gifts. Seeing your best friend marry the love of their life is all worth the planning, right?

Trivia time! What's the bestselling super hero video game of all time? While I would have assumed recurring headliners like Batman: Arkham Asylum or Marvel vs Capcom would be number one, this distinction actually belongs to Warner Bros' and TT Games' hugely successful LEGO Batman. I recently took the latest game in this top-selling series, LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, through its paces to see if the brick Bat continues to have what it takes to stay on top.

It’s no secret that I love hybrid devices. Laptops are handy and tablets are fun but having one device that can function as both is even better. Something about a gadget that can transform between different modes simply feels more futuristic to me. Lately I’ve been putting the Asus Transformer book T100TAM through its paces which is just such a device. It’s a sort of two-in-one laptop-tablet hybrid device that lets you use it as a laptop when you need to and as a standalone tablet the rest of the time.

So click on through to get the complete picture of this very fun RC truck and to see just how well it did when I put it through its paces. I think you'll be surprised at the results.

The battle for your wrist will continue to heat up throughout 2015, and the latest device unveiled in that fight is the Pebble Time. Hailing from a company that can be considered one of the smartwatch pioneers, the Time is more an ode to the past with a touch of the future thrown in. It isn’t as flashy as some of the Android Wear watches or the Apple Watch, but it offers a simplicity that is supposed to appeal to everyone.

This is my second kick at the can with Razer fitness trackers. Back in December I was sent a model that didn’t seem… quite right. Turns out I’d been sent a development prototype for the Razer Nabu, and while I loved it, it didn’t seem to work the way the app suggested it should. It has a screen that would give you the first few words of emails or instant messages and gave you some insight to your alerts. Interesting, but only if it works right? From what I hear the production models are quite a bit better than what I was sent.

We had to send that model back, and in January this tracker showed up: The Razer Nabu X. The plan black band is adorned inside with Razer’s trademark neon green… would this be the tracker that would get me off my FitBit kick (I wish I could quit you, FitBit)? Read on to find out.

I keep saying that in photography having two of something is like having one of it, because when things break having only one is like not having it at all. As such I don’t have any of my video from the Sony Action Cam Mini, but I can tell you all about how it was to use. Interested? Keep reading.
